  • Drew Eubanks C | SAC

    Kings' Drew Eubanks: To undergo surgery

    Eubanks will have surgery to repair a torn UCL in his left thumb, Matt George of ABC 10 Sacramento reports Sunday.

    Eubanks sustained a torn UCL in his left thumb during Wednesday's game against the Hornets, which will require surgery. A timetable for his return will likely become clearer following the surgery, which is set to occur Wednesday. Maxime Raynaud and Dylan Cardwell figure to get ample run at the five spot for as long as Eubanks is sidelined, which seems likely to be the remainder of the regular season.

  • Jazz's Andersson Garcia: Making first career start

    Garcia will make his first career start during Sunday's game against the Kings.

    Garcia gets the start due to the plethora of injuries the team is dealing with. In two appearances for the Jazz this season, Garcia is averaging 6.0 points, 6.0 rebounds, 1.5 steals and 1.0 assists in 27.0 minutes per contest.

  • EJ Harkless SG | UTA

    Jazz's Elijah Harkless: Starting Sunday

    Harkless will start Sunday's game against the Kings.

    Harkless will make his third start of the season. In his previous two starts, he averaged 2.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.0 steals in 23.5 minutes per contest. Harkless has logged 20-plus minutes in each of his last three appearances, scoring in double figures in two of those three games.

  • Killian Hayes PG | SAC

    Kings' Killian Hayes: Starting Sunday

    Hayes will start Sunday's game against the Jazz.

    Hayes will get his second start over the last three games due to Russell Westbrook (foot) being out of the lineup. Hayes played 31 minutes in his previous start, logging 11 points, four assists and two rebounds.

  • Nicolas Batum PF | LAC

    Clippers' Nicolas Batum: Off injury report

    Batum (rest) is off the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Spurs.

    Batum got the night off Saturday as it was the second half of a back-to-back set, but he will return to action Monday. Batum could see a slightly expanded role in his return, as Kawhi Leonard (ankle, doubtful) is unlikely to play.

  • Kawhi Leonard SF | LAC

    Clippers' Kawhi Leonard: Doubtful for Monday

    Leonard (ankle) is doubtful for Monday's game against the Spurs.

    Leonard rolled his left ankle in the fourth quarter of Saturday's game against the Kings and is likely to miss Monday's contest due to the injury. Bennedict Mathurin figures to see an expanded role if Leonard is unavailable.

  • Santi Aldama C | MEM

    Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: To undergo season-ending procedure

    Aldama will undergo a season-ending arthroscopic procedure and receive an orthobiologic injection to address discomfort in his right knee, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints.com reports.

    Aldama, who has not appeared in a game since Feb. 4, will undergo a season-ending procedure to address his right knee injury. The fifth-year pro set career highs in points per game, rebounds per game and minutes per game this season, averaging 14.0 points, 6.7 rebounds and 2.9 assists in 27.9 minutes per contest across 43 appearances. He is expected to make a full recovery.

  • Knicks' Mitchell Robinson: Headed to bench

    Robinson will come off the bench for Sunday's game versus the Warriors.

    Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) is starting, pushing Robinson back to the second unit. Through 34 games as a reserve this season, Robinson owns averages of 5.8 points, 8.8 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per contest.

  • Warriors' Quinten Post: Getting starting nod

    Post will start Sunday's game against the Knicks.

    Post enters the starting lineup due to Draymond Green (back), Al Horford (calf) and Kristaps Porzingis (illness) being out of the lineup. In his last start, Post recorded 10 points, four rebounds, two assists and a steal in 25 minutes. He will be supplemented by recent addition Omer Yurtseven at the five Sunday.

  • Ivica Zubac C | IND

    Pacers' Ivica Zubac: Comes close to double-double

    Zubac chipped in 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and two assists in 24 minutes during Sunday's 134-123 loss to the Bucks.

    Zubac has suited up in three straight games for the Pacers, and while the early numbers haven't been eye-popping, there are some positives to highlight. He's scored in double digits in his past two outings while logging at least 24 minutes, which is an uptick from the 16-minute cameo he made in his season debut against the Suns on Thursday. Zubac should grow more and more comfortable as he gets more minutes under his belt, but he's a risky fantasy option right now. Even if he holds a starting role, the change to a new environment and his lengthy absence mean he likely won't produce at the same rate he did when he was a member of the Clippers, where he also had a more stable offensive role.
